DJ Turntable & B-Geezy present the best of late 90s and early 2000s hip-hop. Why it was popular; what they were thinking; and where it all went wrong. www.rapofages.com
Lil' Kim f. Sisqo, "How Many Licks?" We went deep down and found the answer the age old question and much, much, more.
Lil' Bow Wow (f. Snoop), "Bow Wow (That's My Name)." Lil' Bow Wow had more clout at 13 than most rappers do in a lifetime.
If 2020 were a mixtape.... it would go a lil' somethin' like this. (featuring expert advice from Dr. Jarred Johnson)
Dead Prez, "Hip Hop." Best hip-hop song ever? Sadly more relevant than ever.
Mystikal, "Shake Ya Ass." There's more than one way to enter a room.
Ludacris, "Southern Hospitality." How Luda got his start, Neptunes comb noises, and more.
Nelly, "Country Grammar." We're going down, down, baby, St. Louis here we come.
Sisqó, "Thong Song." The original Dragon, creator of the Matrix, and a real Tiger King.
Season Two Recap. Recorded under #rona quarantine.
Dr. Dre (f. Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, & Kurupt), "The Next Episode" - Season Two Finale.
Nas f. Puff Daddy, "Hate Me Now" - The best episode you'll never hear about the best music video you'll never see.
There just aren't enough songs about money.
Trick Daddy f. Trina, "Shut Up" - Welcome to Florida hip hop, the dirtiest of the South. This episode contains a double parental advisory sticker.
TLC, "No Scrubs" - Just say no to scrubs, pigeons, and arson.
Will Smith f. Dru Hill, "Wild, Wild, West" - We do bad movie voodoo this week with 1999's biggest film flop. We gonna roll, bounce, and stroll to the Wild Wild West.
Lil' Wayne, "Tha Block is Hot." Weezy F. Baby has been rapping since he could breathe. We take it back to when the block was 500 degreez hot.
Ol' Dirty Bastard f. Kelis, "Got Your Money." ODB was a man of a thousand names, a thousand kids, and a founding member of the thousands of the Wu Tang Clan. Since his death in 2004, hip-hop has never seen another like Ason Unique.
Ja Rule, "Holla, Holla." The man behind the myth. Ja Rule blazed onto the scene in 1999 with Holla Holla. Folla folla as we go from street rap to rap sheets, to Billy the bamboozler, and beyond. This week, Ja Rule, Holla Holla, and a little of everything in between.

Last call for season one. We take a quick look back to recap what we've covered, what we didn't, and what's in store for season two.
For all the sound editors, podcasters, and Wu family out there. This one's for you.
Big Pun broke down doors for latino hip hop. But what Kanye owes to Otis, Pun owes to Celia Cruz, bachata, salsa, y más. Para toda mi gente latina. ¡Vive la raza!
In our season finale, we cover hip-hop's biggest Latino recording artist, (Big Pun intended!). Still Not a Player proves that sometimes the clean version is better than the dirty version, and that the Boogie Down Bronx still misses Christopher Lee Rios. Come learn how Big Pun broke down wall for latinos in hip-hop, and how his influence on the rap game still looms large more than 18 years after his death. RIP Pun.
Wu-Tang would have wanted this...we think... just listen through.
